Yeah that 5.7% death rate on Everest seems kinda lame in comparison.

Apparently the Everest climb isn't really all that technically challenging, whereas K2 is only for highly-experienced climbers and much more technical.

But the weather and atmospheric conditions are deadly.

I see frozen dead people: http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=128148751

That story was kinda fucked up..."green boots."

I like how before 1990 the death rates are like 40% for everything. And then after 1990 it's all like 7%.

I dunno, man. K2 and Kangchenjunga still have like 20% death rates. One in five is no joke. lol

On the other hand, if I owned a sporting goods store or extreme-weather clothing company or something, I'd name it "Nanga Parbat is Our Bitch." The death rate prior to 1990 was almost 80%, and now it's 5%. That mountain got owned by Gore-Tex.

And in a lovely display of typical US moronicity, we have this cop: http://guyism.com/humor/video-us-cop-threatens-speeding-german-tourist-with-rape.html?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=video-us-cop-threatens-speeding-german-tourist-with-rape

WHY ARE YOU DRIVING IN MY COUNTRY, GERMAN BOY!?

In all fairness, ass rape is a pretty good deterrent for speeding.

Probably for most things.

This site seems to get slower every day.

Slower loading, or slower as in amount of people?

Slower loading. Page load times are ok but for a page to finish loading it seems to take forever.

I've been away for awhile, so I can't really remember what it was like a year and a half ago, but it doesn't seem too bad to me. I will say that on my phone it takes an annoying amount of time.

Yeah, but that's a Canadian phone, so you can't really judge from that.

Why the sudden hatred for your neighboUrs to the north? And if you wanna be technical, its a Chinese phone.

This.

The site is super bloated in terms of bandwidth for a simple page load.

^ Like we talked...if the smileys were an optional load, it wouldn't be hardly any slower than my computer.

Yesterday I watched the WBW banner at the top of the page load and I felt like I was back on dial-up.

It loaded line...
